I have recently sealed my sunroof with waterproof mastik type stuff but she still leaks

Can the water be running in from the liner/seal of where the roof bar fits
 
Yes it can get in the roof bar mounts. Silicone sealer is your friend;)

But if the sunroof is still leaking and the drain tubes are blocked, sealing the roof bars won't help.

Where are the drain tubes located??

The front corners of the sun roof internal gutter. It's common for the drain tubes to block with bits of rust from the glass surround. Once blocked, any water that gets through spills over the gutter edges and onto the roof lining.
 
When I first bought my FL 1 this was the first job I did change the sun roof as you could see a little water mark on the head lining, job sorted

Was it hard fitting a new one in as a few of the ppl I know with experience are telling me calibration on sunroofs are not easy or are the just chatting breeze
 
Very easy to fit as it comes with the glass already in it's frame work, just four bolt screws to take out and refit. few pics below of how my sunroof was corroded in the corners therefore letting in water, also clean out the sun roof tubes with some curtain wire.
